Hotspot Shield VPN protects your Wi-Fi activity from prying eyes.
Hotspot Shield is a VPN service that allows you to browse the Internet and conduct other Wi-Fi transactions securely from your iPhone or iPod touch, keeping your identity anonymous. The app uses 128-bit encryption over a secure tunnel, compressing and encrypting Internet traffic to prevent unauthorized hacking. Once you download and install the app, you can choose to try the program on a trial basis or pay to use the service.
Instructions
1. Open the App Store.
2. Tap "Search" on the navigation bar, type "Hotspot Shield" in the search tool and tap "Search."
3. Tap "Hotspot Shield VPN" to go to the information screen. Then tap "Free" and then "Install" to download and install the program. Enter your Apple ID and password at the prompt and tap "OK."
4. Open the Hotspot VPN app from the Home screen.
5. Select whether to try the app free on a trial basis for seven days or to purchase a monthly or yearly subscription. If selecting the pay options, tap the "Buy" button to confirm the purchase and enter your Apple ID password. Otherwise, tap "Try it for free."
6. Select either "Always On" in the VPN settings to launch the Hotspot Shield automatically when the iOS device is turned on or "Manual" to turn on the service manually. "Always On" is a good option for novice users while "Manual" is more useful for advanced users.
7. Tap "Install" in the "Install Profile" screen to install the settings for the iPhone or iPod. Tap "Install Now" at the next dialog box to add the Hotspot Shield VPN configuration. Tap "Done" when the installation is complete. Exit Hotspot Shield.
